Bravo! Working beautifully here. I haven't exactly tested everything,
but at least I can run commands from bash without error.

P.S. Had to re-run setup to allow post-install scripts to run. Just
make sure not to reinstall the cygwin dll package.

I've applied a patch to Cygwin which should workaround what

If you want details, see the huge comment in the sources,
file dcrt0.cc, get_cygwin_startup_info().

Please try the latest snapshot DLL from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
Note that this snapshot will show weird directory related behaviour
when trying to run tclsh, gdb -w resp. insight, or strace. This is
the result of another change and has nothing to do with Vista 64.
